Yearbook of the International Law Commission 2005, Vol. II, Part 1

This volume contains the summary records of the meetings of the International Law Commission on its 57th session (2 May – 3 June and 11 July – 5 August 2005). The issues discussed at that session included: unilateral acts of states, diplomatic protection, state responsibility, reservations to treaties and international liability for injurious consequences arising out of acts not prohibited by international law.

Diplomatic protection

It has been suggested that the clean hands doctrine should be reflected in an article in the draft articles on diplomatic protection approved by the Commission in 2004. The present report considers that suggestion.
